Height growth after 19 please help me?

No more growth: You need to come to terms with the fact that you are not going to grow anymore. At 19, if you get maybe another 1/2 inch of growth, i'd be surprised. Your height is genetically determined, and your bones fuse by age 19, meaning no further growth is going to happen. There is no medication, hormone or other internet snake oil that is going to give you any more inches. Time to accept this is you!

Depends on variables: Most males finish their growth by age 17-18. Growth centers in the long bones respond to the hormones of puberty by closing at a predictable pace.An x-ray of your wrist and hand can be assessed for growth plates and if yours is more like a 14-15 yo you could expect more growth.If your growth plates have closed, you are done.
